Buffy the Vampire Slayer SCHOOL HARD SPIKE Exclusive Action Figure by Diamond

My Son loved it

This deluxe figure of Spike depicts Spike in his first appearance of Buffy, in the episode School Hard. He appeared with his gothic girlfriend Drusilla, and together they were determined to get rid of the Slayer. This sculpt is FANTASTIC. It looks just like James Marsters, the actor who played Spike, and the fact that it's deluxe makes it cooler. The accessories this figure comes with are interchangeable arms, an axe (which is episode-specific, because Joyce Summers whacked him on the head with an axe when he tried to kill Buffy), and a silver pole, which doesn't really fit into the figure's hands. There are a few issues with it, though. The head is a little too far down on the neck, so he looks kind of stubby. Also (and I'm sure this is just mine), my figure had a chip on his nose, and it doesn't look very attractive. Finally, no jacket. Spike's trademark is his jacket. Besides, in that episode, he always wears his jacket. So why none? I don't know. However, the pros definitely outweigh the cons. You won't regret buying this. It looks just like James, the amount of articulation is great, the accessories are cool, and, honestly, it's Spike. Everyone likes Spike.
